Well, if you use Wayback, I am not sure you can use Wayland applications. Hoping somebody can confirm or deny this.

I think you effectively would be ditching Wayland though as I do not think you can run Wayland applications.

I am trying to understand the difference between Wayback and running Xwayland in Cage.

I’m Wayback, will I still be able to run Wayland applications? Or am I literally just running an Xserver that uses Wayland for the DDX layer?

Not to correct you but, if people try to search based on your recommendation, it is “The Cathedral and the Bazaar”.

Honestly, not even in this case (especially given the history). Kent has a kernel tree people can pull if they need to. If it is an emergency, point people there.

As somebody that uses this filesystem, I disagree.

If you want to use it as a server, Fedora is annoying because the support lifetimes are so short.

If you want the Fedora / Red Hat experience, consider Alma Linux. Skills wise, it is like using Res Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) which is an in-demand skill set.

Reading all the comments (between Kent and Linux), the problem is that the bcachefs dev thinks that his project (the filesystem) is the critically important one and that the Linux kernel needs to bend to his will.

I am a bcachefs user but it is pretty damn obvious to me that the production Linux kernel is more important than an experimental filesystem.

There is no reason that Kent Overstreet needed to do this.

I love bcachefs but I am so angry at him for making this happen.
